TRIBECA FILM INSTITUTE

For this project we were asked to design a film institute to be located in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York city, New York.  

This project was developed as a place for film education, and a potential venue for the Tribeca Film Festival. As such, theater spaces and education and administrative space were essential to the building program. Additionally, public businesses were to be incorporated into the program.  After an initial material study to generate ideas, my project became about a dissolve between public and private spaces, seen most effectively in a grand stairway leading to an ambiguous public space before entering the main public theater.
